XE SV PROJECT 8

THE MOST EXTREME PERFORMANCE JAGUAR VEHICLE EVER

With 592 HP from a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine, the Project 8 is the most powerful street-legal Jaguar vehicle in history. Total production will be strictly limited to 300 cars worldwide, each one hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Center in Warwickshire, England. Prototype versions have been running at proving grounds across Europe, the most famous of which is the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Project 8 has achieved the fastest lap ever for a Jaguar vehicle on the Nordschleife, faster than any other four-door production-intent sedan in history and faster than many renowned supercars.

SVO creates the ultimate Jaguar vehicles: the fastest and most luxurious. Our specialist engineers, designers and craftsmen engineers enable our most discerning clients to indulge their passion for Jaguar. The result is always exclusive, rare and with the very latest state-of-the-art technology.

PERFORMANCE AND CAPABILITY

Engineered to be the world’s most exhilarating sports sedan, the Project 8 uses motor sport-derived suspension and a modified all-wheel-drive system for outstanding driver feel and agility. Damper mounts are ball-jointed to improve response and there are two ride heights – one for the road and a lower setting for the track.

MORE POWER, LESS WEIGHT

The heart of the car is the legendary Jaguar supercharged V8. But speed and driving exhilaration aren’t just about power. The Jaguar-pioneered lightweight aluminum architecture combined with the extensive use of carbon fiber in the Project 8 – for the hood, bumpers, fenders, side skirts, front splitter and rear spoiler – keep weight to a minimum.

SIGNATURE FEATURES

REAR SPOILER

The Project 8 body has been extensively redesigned to offer aerodynamic performance essential for a 200 mph car. This includes an adjustable deep front splitter, rear diffuser and a large adjustable rear spoiler. The spoiler’s angle of attack can be fine-tuned either to reduce drag or maximize downforce – producing up to 268 lbs of downforce once you reach 186 mph.3

BRAKES

The supercharged V8 engine and lightweight body assure astonishing performance. But stopping power is just as important for a 200 mph car. The Project 8 has the largest and most technologically advanced brakes ever fitted to a Jaguar vehicle – vast 400 mm carbon ceramic discs with 6 huge piston calipers up front. They’re light too, saving almost 40 lbs.

A REAL CONNECTION TO THE ROAD

All Wheel Drive ensures superb responsiveness, traction and agility. No Jaguar vehicle feels more ‘alive.’ The handling is rear-drive biased, like a two-door supercar. The Intelligent Driveline Dynamics includes an electronic active rear differential, as part of the advanced computer-controlled drive setup. For ultimate performance, the Project 8 has a uniquely tuned version of Adaptive Dynamics that includes a new Track Mode.

PERFORMANCE SEATS

The Project 8 features four seats trimmed in Ebony leather with Oyster contrast stitching. The front pair are special lightweight magnesium-framed Performance seats.

PERSONALIZED TO YOU

The Project 8 is offered in 3 standard colors, as well as five optional SVO Premium Palette colors. To make the car truly unique – a genuine one-off – choose the Bespoke by SVO edition. This includes a choice of 10,000 further body and accent colors plus bespoke racing-inspired decals, painted brake calipers, commissioning plaque and much more.

TO THE POWER OF 592 HP

With 592 hp from a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine, the Project 8 is the most powerful street-legal Jaguar vehicle in history. Total production will be strictly limited to 300 cars worldwide, each one hand-assembled at the SVO Technical Center in Warwickshire, England.
